Like A Boss

Written by Peter on Sunday, August 28th, 2011

20 years ago Michael Schumacher made his Formula 1 debut at the Spa circuit, when Eddie Jordan gave him a seat for one race to replace a driver who got in trouble before the race weekend. It was a start of a quite successful career resulting in winning the world championship seven times. Today he had to start from the last place, due to a tiny technical difficulty he had during the qualification: one of his tires simply fell off on his first lap. Well, such things won't stop him, he finished at 5th. My hero... :-)

Happy anniversary Michael!

Update: I may have trust issues, but I was right. This video was originally on Youtube but after a couple of days it got removed by the Formula One Management. I had a gut feeling it's going to happen, so even before writing this little post I saved the video, so I won't run into that I have to delete this article as it makes no much sense without the action footage. Yet another reason why I don't trust the cloud... Anyway, here it is using the QuickTime plugin, get it if you don't have it, and if you're part of the anti-QuickTime movement, you can download the video and watch it however you want.
